Matty:

I'll defer to Crazy Canuck on this one but at the moment I don't think the Skins are able to franchise Smoot. He would count immediately as a $7.5M figure on their cap and I think they only have $4M in room.

So in order to franchise him, there would have to other moves to save $3.5M immediately. And the only way to do that is to cut players who have only trivial signing bonuses left to amortize.
